Appeal Court reaffirms Governor Otu’s victory

The Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, on Wednesday, November 22, reaffirmed the victory of Governor Bassey Otu of Cross River State as the winner of the governorship election held on March 18, 2023.
The Appeal Court dismissed for lack of merit the appeal filed by the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Sandy Onor who had earlier suffered the same fate on September 26th, 2023 in Calabar.
The tribunal verdict has now been re-affirmed by the Appeal Court.
Governor Otu in a swift reaction to his latest victory, through his press secretary, Emmanuel Ogbeche, expressed happiness and hoped that the Appeal Court verdict would bring to a close to election litigation against his victory which was a clear indication of the people’s mandate overwhelmingly given to him.
The governor stated: “This ruling should bring an end to litigation on the outcome of the governorship election. For those in the opposition, especially my brother, Prof. Sandy Onor, I once again offer you a hand of friendship. Come and join my administration so that together we can move our state forward and bring about the dividends of democracy.
“My administration is fully re-energised to deliver on the People First Mandate, which is on track to repositioning our state for effective and responsive governance. I solicit the support and patience of all Cross Riverians as we navigate the challenging times towards the Cross River of our dreams.
“Let me reassure all our citizens that we are working round the clock to ensure that we deliver the best governance for our people. It is important also to note that reparations are in top gear for a robust and successful Calabar festival, while we continue to address other socio-economic and developmental issues.”
Senator Otu was declared winner of the polls by INEC having polled a total of 258,619 votes winning in 15 of the 18 local governments of the state to defeat his closest rival, Senator Sandy Onor of the Peoples Democratic Party, who garnered 179,636 votes.
